🚢 Home DevOps Pipeline: A junior engineer’s tale (2/4)

• home-repo

  4 8 0.0 Shell

  Home Repo 🚢 - Raspberry Pi based home development system including: git repo, CI/CD pipelines, docker registry, and monitoring.

In this series of articles, I will explain how I built my own home development environment using a couple of Raspberry Pis and a lot of software. In this article I will cover the development / CI part of the pipeline, starting with the Git Repository. The code referenced in these articles can be found here.

• docker-backup-to-s3

  1 133 0.0 Shell

  Docker container that periodically backups files to Amazon S3 using s3cmd and cron

Once mounted, you can reference the location /media/hdd just like you would any other folder. Now we want to be able to routinely backup the contents of this drive. Handily, someone has made a docker image which does just that https://github.com/istepanov/docker-backup-to-s3. However, as expected this image isn’t for ARM architecture so I rebuilt the image using a Raspbian base on my Pi.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  The Cloud Native Application Proxy

  

Having a home repository is great. But, since I am not a complete hermit and want to collaborate with others, I then went on to add external access to my repo. I did this using Traefik, the reverse proxy which gives automatic SSL encryption with certificates from Let’s Encrypt and I used a free domain from duckdns.

• git-lfs

  159 12,405 9.1 Go

  Git extension for versioning large files

  

You may be thinking large files and git doesn’t make any sense. You are absolutely right. Any edits involving large binaries cause your git repo to explode in size. Enter stage left to solve all git/large file problems: the Git LFS (Large File Storage) — a git plugin that stores specified files in a sensible way.

• Gitea

  280 41,708 10.0 Go

  Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  

Gitea is a git repository application that can be installed on a machine. This means that the storage of the repositories is done on the machine itself as standard. However, as mistakes do happen, I have upgraded this to an external hard drive with routine backups to AWS S3.

  Discontinued Gitness is an Open Source developer platform with Source Control management, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. [Moved to: https://github.com/harness/gitness]

  

However, this isn’t exactly DevOps. Using git provides you with the continuous integration of your code via pull requests etc., but it does not provide continuous delivery. For that, we look to a software called Drone.
